Reparations -- Yes? (was Re: Joy In Horowitzville)

[Forstater, Mathew]

I have argued in favor of reps. on teevee twice in the last two weeks, once on a
"in-depth" story on the reparations movement in the KC area on local 10 oclock
news and once in a half hour 'debate' on the local Sunday morning news 'firing
line' show. I also organized two seminars on reps last semester with Gary
Dymski, one on campus and the other at the Bruce Watkins Cultural Heritage
Center in the KC community. I have also argued for reps. in presentations on
race, class, and health in a community mtg. sponsored by the KC and State of
Missouri Health Depts and at a guest lecture at KU medical school, and again at
a conference on public employment here at UMKC, at Black History Month events
last year and this year, and at several other similar forums. Reps are part of a
three pronged strategy to reduce Black poverty and unemployment (along with
affirmative action and guaranteed jobs) in papers I've presented in several
places in the last few years, etc. I am involved with the local NCOBRA
chapter......

My impression is that non-black leftists who disagree with Horowitz 
on his atrocious arguments against reparations for slavery don't 
necessarily argue for reparations, let alone struggle for them.

How many LBO-talkers are actually working on this campaign, as 
opposed to being horrified by Horowitz & radical Brown students of 
color who trashed the campus paper that ran his ad?
